AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor

AM4 a little longer
This cpu can extend the life of your AM4 setup for another year or two at a good price and is also very efficient. You don’t need a fancy cpu cooler as the 5700x3d is efficient and cool. If you do need a cooler, you can’t beat the value of the phantom spirit 120 se or peerless assassin. The 5800x3d does perform another 10-20% better and is the best gaming performance on AM4, however it costs about $150 more. So for me, the 5700x3d is the sweet spot of value, efficiency and gaming performance.

Upgrade from the Ryzen 1700 is MASSIVE.
I’ve got a near 8 year old system that was still running a Ryzen 1700 and GTX 1080, on an MSI B350m Mortar motherboard. The first gen Ryzen had some issue with utilizing 3200mhz ram, I think the official max supported was like 2677mhz, so my RAM was always underclocked. Naturally after so long I was getting the itch for an upgrade.I didn’t want to spend $1000 on an AM5 build just for my GPU to be bottlenecked and be forced to buy a $1200-2000 GPU, especially when my GTX 1080 is still surprisingly relevant by today’s standards.Fortunately my OLD MSI b350m motherboard put out a BIOS update for this processor which literally made it plug and play. Dropped in the new CPU and after taking a little while to boot up, everything ran like normal. After enabling XMP my RAM immediately went to the rated 3200mhz, no fuss, whereas my old Ryzen 1700 would make things very unstable after about 2733mhz.Depending on your motherboard there’s some special options in the BIOS you can modify to make the chip run a lot cooler. I am using a 240mm AIO water cooler but the temps were approaching 90C on prime95. I enabled some of the undervolting options and that was making temps top out around 75C while boosting!I haven’t had the opportunity yet to thoroughly test it in games yet, but the games I have played so far have been running noticeably better. That is of course on top of the obvious increase in speed in any other task compared to my Ryzen 1700. On top of all this I can consistently push it over 4GHz turbo on 1.15v whereas my 1700 was underclocked to 3.2GHz around 1.2v to be stable.My intentions with this processor was to utilize the new 3D Vcache technology to “future proof” my AM4 system for at least a few more years to give GPU technology more time to develop and hopefully have some breakthrough where GPUs are better and not so much more expensive nowadays. Beyond the fact the m.2 drives are overkill for most tasks and it’s still hard to find AM5 motherboards that have USB 4.0 slots.In conclusion, this upgrade resulted in my RAM being able to be run at expected speeds or better, a much faster processor and much better gaming performance with lower power draw. It has allowed me to squeeze the last bit of life out of my AM4 board and give it a facelift, for the price of about $300 all in for the CPU, liquid cooler and paste.In other words I saved about $1000-3000 in not having to upgrade to the AM5 platform that is still in it’s infancy, and get to stay on the time tested AM4 platform while the newer platforms work out the kinks and there’s better GPU options as well as USB 4 standards etc.If you’re on the fence about making the purchase, go for it. I bought this when the price dropped to $229 and at the time that was a $80ish discount from the 5800x3d for a processor that uses a lot less power for maybe a 5% difference in performance. If you care more about your power bill and heat being generated by your computer than a 5% increase in performance, and you’re staying on the AM4 platform, MAKE THE PURCHASE!

Works great!
The only thing crazy about this order was that when I ordered the CPU it said that it was overnight shipping and that I would receive it the next day. For some reason it didn’t come for 10 days and I had completely forgotten about it. Slapped it in when I got it and the performance difference was IMMENSE. Great CPU quality. Great speed. Does get quite HOT so you need a really good CPU cooler, do not use some dinky little heatsink on it.

Fantastic am4 upgrade.
TL/DR: Processor good, computer go zoom.I built an am4 system a few years back, when graphics cards were hard to get, and cpu/motherboard prices were on the rise. I built on a bit of a budget, so I didn’t go crazy on the processor, and snagged a 3600. A reasonable amount of ram, decent graphics card, and the best motherboard I could get, so I wouldn’t be stuck without room to upgrade/expand later. Well, here we are, it’s later. I needed a bit of a bump to better enjoy the occasional game, and run some of my 3D modeling software a touch smoother. I didn’t want to commit to a full new build, but with the price of the 5800x3d vs some am5 platform options, I was a bit torn. That said, I didn’t have any need to go overboard, because my use case wouldn’t push a 5800x3d to its limits. Enter the 5700x3d, and at a price just over $200. The 5700x3d does great with everything I throw at it. It runs super stable, the temperature is well managed with most decent coolers, no issues with games, or any rendering software. This is a great way to get a nice performance bump across the board, and buy a few more years of use on your am4 platform. If you’re looking for an upgrade, this is a pretty solid one. Obviously, the price might be better or worse depending on when you’re reading this, so ymmv.HOWEVER. If you’re building a new computer, just go am5. Unless someone is giving you parts, or an amazing deal on something, it just doesn’t seem worth it outside of being a fantastic upgrade for current am4 owners. But I’m just a guy on the internet, giving my 2 cents.

Produto excelente, upgrade de um ryzen 5 5600g para o ryzen 7 5700x3d, em jogos que exige muito do processador deu uma baita diferença, em simulador de corrida como asseto corsa deu uma grande diferença conforme as imagens. Para uso com vr junto com uma 4070 fez uma grande diferença, aumentou significativamente os fps! Foi uma excelente compra! Melhor custo benefício para upgrade definitivo da plataforma am4!

För 4år sedan köpte jag en 5600x, nu får jag mer kraft i spel med denna.
